I was in a similar program to this one in high-school. Provo Canyon School has been notorious for over 15 years for being awful. Shut these programs down, they don’t work
He was slapped first and then punched the student that slapped him. The school is a psychiatric therapy in nature and not a regular public school. They left this off the title.
There’s a lot more that’s not in the title, and it’s not even a long article. People should read it before jumping to conclusions.
I’m sure even more details will come out later, so maybe hold off on those conclusions even if you do read the article.
Most of the adolescents and children in the Provo Canyon School have been sent by their parents there not prisoners and this man had no right to assault them and their parents have no right to falsely imprison them.
If your child or adolescent in your care is mentally, get a doctor and get a fucking court order for involuntry pyschricratic care. There is due process for a reason to defend all people’s human rights.
